Digital and Robotic Twinning for Validation of Proximity Operations and Formation Flying
In spacecraft Rendezvous, Proximity Operations (RPO), and Formation Flying (FF), the Guidance Navigation and Control (GNC) system is safety-critical and must meet strict performance requirements. However, validating such systems is challenging due to the complexity of the space environment, necessitating a verification and validation (V&V) process that bridges simulation and real-world behavior. The key contribution of this paper is a unified, end-to-end digital and robotic twinning framework t…

The Fordham University
Tri-State Tick Risk Index for the week of June 27, is at the highest it can be:
a 10 out of 10.

Fordham Tri-State Tick Risk
The Fordham Tick Index is an estimate of the risk of being bitten by a nymphal or adult deer tick.

So what's going on here?
1) An overall falling birth rate, below replacement level in a rich country like the UK, is a GOOD THING.
2) If poorer families are disproportionately unlikely to have children, that is a BAD THING.
3) #DemographicSlowdown does bring challenges but they can be addressed. Clue: expect lots of

How do Monarch butterflies survive?
I've planted several California native milkweeds - the Monarchs have a definite preference for it. (It's fun to work in the garden and have Monarchs flying around me.)
Eventually the milkweeds are covered by very healthy looking, strikingly patterned caterpillars. The caterpillars consume the milkweed plant until the plant is a leafless hulk. And the caterpillars vanish.
But I have yet to see a chrysalis.
I'm going to…

It's a clever idea, but I have a horrible sinking feeling that in two years we're going to be living in an Escher-like maze of Captchas and counter-captchas and infinite recursions of AI based arms races.

Optimal Control of ODE Car-Following Models: Applications to Mixed-Autonomy Platoon Control via Coupled Autonomous Vehicles
In this paper, we study the optimal control of a mixed-autonomy platoon driving on a single lane to smooth traffic flow. The platoon consists of autonomous vehicles, whose acceleration is controlled, and human-driven vehicles, whose behavior is described using a microscopic car-following model. We formulate the optimal control problem where the dynamics of the platoon are describing through a system of non-linear ODEs, with explicit constraints on both the state and the control variables.

Ich habe via Amazon bei einem deutschen Händler 6 Flaschen Sirup bestellt.
Händler schickte das falsche Produkt.
Zurückgeschickt in der selben Verpackung.
Nun schreibt mir GLS einen Brief, dass sie es nicht zustellen konnten, weil eine Flasche kaputtgegangen ist. Und wollen eine Verfügung.
WTH? Wie soll ich eine Verfügung erteilen? Bedeutet das in D was anderes als in CH?
